The recall currently on the 2014 F-150 our 2016 is doing the same thing. It randomly shifts down into lower gears or won't shift at all. Or it will go into 6th gear and not move.

On Sunday July 21st I was driving my F-150 when the check engine light came on. I took the car to an autoparts store for diagnostic check. The codes that came back are P0707 and P0706. On the drive home from the auto parts store the car slammed into first gear on a back road, then would not go back into gear when placed in park, then back in drive. I was able to turn off the ignition and restart the vehicle. At that time the vehicle did go back in to gear but was not behaving normally. There was also a wrench lamp that lit up on the dashboard at that time. According to ford this is what the wrench indicates "This light can be triggered whenever your onboard diagnostics II(OBD II) system detects a throttle control system or transmission-related problem". According to my mechanic these codes are the same codes associated with a recall that is already in place for transmission issues with the 2014 6 speed transmission, which is the same transmission I have in my vehicle. My mechanic states he as already replaced several transmission range sensor circuits on 2015 and 2016 models and they are the same issue that the 2014 is having. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, but I did speak to the ford dealership where I purchased the vehicle new. They advised me to complete this report which tells me that they are likely seeing the same thing as my mechanic is seeing.

The lead frame on my vehicle is faulty, and will randomly switch into manual mode (it's an automatic transmission) while driving on the highway. This causes it to downshift to low gears while I'm driving on the highway. I'm driving 65+ on the highway and suddenly the vehicle downshifts to 2nd gear and I have to slam on the brakes. The engine light only comes on when the issue happens then goes back off until it happens again. Ford dealership confirmed that this is related to the lead frame and suggested it be replaced. From what I've read online, this is such a common issue that replacement lead frames for this model year have been on back order for several years, yet no recall has been issued for this model year, only the previous generation. My vehicle is currently in the shop so I don't have a repair invoice yet.

My vehicle started making a rattling noise I took it to a ford dealership and they said the can phasers need to be replaced i saw online that there was a recalled for the 2017-2019 models that were made between march 10th 2016 to November 30th 2019 my specific vehicle was made in the Dearborn factory where the issue was recalled march 9th of 2016 and I think that my year and model should also be under the recall because I don-??t find it coincidental that my truck was built in the factory the day before the recall date and is having they same exact issue as the same make and models.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" The transmission lead frame failed. It was replaced by the mechanic. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The transmission suddenly shifted to a lower gear and locked up the rear tires. This suddenly decreased the speed while traveling in traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The service center scanned the truck and recorded the error codes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" The transmission shifted erratically and the gear indicator on the dash blinked. After the sudden downshift the check engine and see service manual light came on.

Vehicle is exhibiting issues consistent with the recalled lead frame part on previous year models, despite my 2016 having the same transmission as they do. Truck will randomly downshift into first at slower speeds causing engine to rev very high and not want to shift into next gear. Often times it will get -??stuck-?? in 3rd gear even when coming to a complete stop and leaving a stop in 3rd still. On one occasion the truck shuddered and began to decelerate even as the accelerator was being pressed on the highway causing a significant safety issue, I had to put in neutral and restart the truck while still driving to regain forward mobility of the vehicle. When these things occur typically a little gear wrench symbol will appear on the dash and on one occasion has raised a check engine light with code P0720.
